A police corporal, Mr. Anthony Onoja, has been ordered to pay the sum of N10million as exemplary damages for the rape of a two-year old baby, Chinwendu Obi Onwudiwe.
A Nasarawa State High Court sitting in Mararaba, a town on the outskirts of Abuja, gave the order in its judgment in a suit filed against Onoja and the Inspector General of Police by her mother, Mrs. Ngozi Obi Onwudiwe.
Justice A. Asmau, in her judgment, held that the accused infringed on Chinwendu’s fundamental rights.
